Smith could be in the mix for save opportunities as the Giants switch to a closer by committee.
Smith was acquired by the Giants to serve as their left-handed setup man, but with Santiago Casilla being removed from the closer role Friday, every late-inning reliever could potentially see save opportunities. The lefty has to be considered lower on the totem pole given his sub-par performance since joining San Francisco (4.63 ERA), but a situation may arise where the Giants need to get multiple left-handed bats out in the ninth and could turn to Smith.
